Core Text — Zevachim 34b

״וְאֶת דָּמוֹ יִשְׁפֹּךְ״ — מְלַמֵּד שֶׁשִּׁירֵי הַדָּם נִשְׁפָּכִין לַיְסוֹד.

English: “And its blood he shall pour out” — this teaches that the residual blood is poured to the base.

In the sugya: After the blood has been applied to the horns, the remaining blood is disposed of by pouring it onto the base of the altar, as derived from this clause.

Type of Learning

Shefichat shirayim at the yesod — after the horn applications, remaining blood is poured at the base of the altar.

What Is Learned

Once the required applications to the horns are complete, any residual blood is poured onto the base (yesod) of the altar. This shefichah is an integral part of the service of the outer chatas; omitting it leaves the blood-disposal incomplete.
